Mozez praised the rapper's courage, saying he was "surprised at his fearlessness." He said, "We clicked instantly, and there was trust that we weren't here to do something dirty. We wanted to depict his incredible journey with complete honesty. He was mature enough to understand that and gave us everything we needed."
